4) The SLOs can be delivered one per week or can be overlapped according to the
instructor’s teaching.
5) These are minimum requirements. The instructor can add to but cannot take away from
these SLOs, assignments and activities.
6) A research paper can be used to fulfill any of the SLOs. Any paper must be graded using
the appended rubric.
7) Current topics are necessary in this course, not only to address current issues but to
compare situations and dilemmas with past management practices and events to provide
in-depth understanding in specific and general fields of management.
8) Instructors need to fill in the final column to indicate how and where they are assessing
each SLO, and more than one assessment may be appropriate. For example, SLO 1 may
include a discussion board, reading the text, coverage in a term paper and inclusion on an
exam.
